In the Vondel cousins’ workshop, magic pulses among playful rivalries, laughter, and unpredictable wonders. Everything would be perfect if it weren’t for Rog’s block, which prevents him from forging spells. Then the arrival of a stranger begins to shake routines, open doors that had long been closed, and spark embers that had been extinguished for years. Because sometimes change arrives disguised as a problem… and transforms far more than anyone expected.

When Bruno (@/bruukish) returns to bookstagram, after several months of absence, and uploads some stories in which he asks for book recommendations - but not just any book; one of those stories that grab you, that keep you fangirling all day long and making thousands of theories, like when you're little - Gael doesn't hesitate for a moment to respond with his favourite saga: ‘Retazos de Durielle’ by the national bestselling author Elaia G. Arza. In fact, he does it almost on impulse. She doesn't think she's going to see it. Let alone answer it. Never. Bruno Bruukish? If she'll have hundreds of thousands of responses with hundreds of thousands of recommendations, how will she respond to him... won't she?

Seven university students, a shared flat and a (disastrous) hilarious Christmas...

My name is E, in charge of telling you this (disastrously) wonderful Christmas story, a romantic comedy in which seven university students decide to spend the best Christmas in the world together. Sounds good, doesn't it?

A funny and cute story (dramatic pause for a laugh) in which an elf from the North Pole with quirky jumpers, a drama queen with a very bad temper, an adorable little girl, the one who will be little less than the mummy and the dorito (her boyfriend, ahem ahem), a French girl on Erasmus and the worst (but not green) of the Grinch will end up spending Christmas in a very small flat.

Seven very different people sharing a very limited space, as you may have noticed, there is only one thing that can be said about all this: it goes wrong.
 

Nerea has had enough. Her so-called best friend Nico is leaving her out because of his damn boyfriend Ray. That little Polish prince is the new, handsome, intelligent, loving, super-interesting, perfect guy. And she doesn't trust him one bit. There's something about all that perfection that smells fishy to her and she doesn't want her friend to suffer because of him.

Driven by rage, Nerea fights with Carolina, an old friend who also left her out, and, as punishment, they have to organize yearbooks in the afternoons. Among the old yearbooks, they find a clue that might suggest that Nerea was right about the little prince and she will not hesitate to unmask him. No matter how.

Although, perhaps the answers will turn everything she knows upside down when she discovers where the zhores are hiding.
